java script help

[Milkman]

hi everyone,

I need a preload script to preload sounds so that each time someone clicks on a picture, this sound will take the characteristic of the bgsound. I have the actual sound code written with the onCLick function, but i need these sounds to preload so there will be no time delay. thanks.

This is a generic image preloader, but it should work for sounds just the same. Simply change what's between the quotes below to whatever sounds you want preloaded.

<script language=javascript>
<!--- //

imgNames = new Array(
"/sounds/yoursound.wav",
"/sounds/yoursound2.wav"
)

loadImgs = new Array()

for(i=0; i < imgNames.length; i++) {
loadImgs[i] = new Image;
loadImgs[i].src = imgNames[i];
}

// --->
</script>

Yeeeaaaah....Netscape's always been a little tricky with playing sounds. I'm sorry but it really is a bad browser. I really wouldn't know how to help you in that aspect...I've personally never found a way to get Netscape to play sounds on mouseEvents properly, outside of doing the whole thing in Flash of course. Best of luck to you buddy http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

aside from my planned international boycott on netscape (because it does not support vbscript, css, some javascript and html), and have a few ideas using the embed src tag and arrays to make an onClick play bgsound thing work. I will post it when I figure it out. Thanks for your help with the preload.
